With the turn of the year and blistering cold of January, hope springs eternal, with the announcement of the 2014 RAGBRAI route. And with this news, killers are already busy with preparations for this year's ride.

THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to all the hard working Kill who make biking so much fun! I know getting the bus up and running and organizing everything for RAGBRAI is not done in a day. And THANK YOU CHRIS KANE for finding us places to stay! And how cool is this FABULOUS website? A DRUPAL MASTERPIECE!

We are anxiously awaiting your arrival for the Memorial Day Ride. We thought we would post just a couple of thoughts for the meals. Supper for Saturday night will most likely be at a spot on the trail. There are many located in Rushford and Lanesboro depending on which direction we end up riding.

Glen was on his ride yesterday and stopped into his normal watering hole in Lanesboro and the bartender said he just got a text from the DNR that said the trail is open today and will be open until June 2nd. We think they heard "Team Road Kill" was coming for a Memorial Day Weekend ride!

I just bought a new road bike, the apparently ever-popular 2013 Trek 7.2 fx. This is the first bike purhase I've made in 5 years. My two previous vehicles were both mountain bikes, and both stolen. I really like how this bike pushes me to ride longer.
